  1. Trade my JLU for a JT?

    After 50yrs of camping in Central WA., and probably 10+ bear encounters, the best defense is a dog, crows nest tent, & .45. I’ve never shot a bear, but have fired a few times in the air for scaring. A JL RTT may help for height, but a JT bed mount tepui has definitely felt safer numerous times...
  2. GM Is Moving Away From Apple and Android Phone Projection

    To critique this as a incredibly short sighted change is woefully understated. From a security perspective, Carplay/Android auto is emulation only, so data doesn’t leave your device. For someone in the tech world, with locked down devices, there’s no way messaging systems would ever be allowed...
  3. 392 Gladiator V8 Hemi confirmed by Jeep CEO!

    I’m not quite 96% good, but I tell my wife I have a 78% recollection accuracy on our disagreements.
  4. Possibly trading my 2020 JTR 3.6 for a 2021 JTRD

    Used deals a very area specific. I would look up your KBB trade-in value, and the same for the JTR you are trying to buy. Most ā€œfairā€ dealers take a fair/Good trade KBB value & add 10-15%. I usually target to get somewhere around 7% of that value. Dealer makes money, Salesmen get’s their spiff...
  5. 2026 Exterior Colors (per JL)

    Joose is easily my 2nd favorite orange on JK, JL/JT’s. If they ever bring back JK’s Mango Tango, my JT even though I love the diesel, will be traded immediately.
  6. What the heck is with the bump stops?

    My 2022 diesel bottomed on any speed bump. I could replicate it daily in my work’s parking garage. I used the Clayton springs RustyPW linked earlier with Bilstein Shocks to resolve. It is a firmer ride, but I love it compared to stock.
  7. Sunrider owners - MY mess-up, or theirs?

    I do hope Bill getā€˜s a viable product that resolves his situation in a satisfactory manor to all involved. How does that sound for a BS response? Execution matters, no lip service. If Bestop resolves the flaw, fantastic. I have worked with many manufacturing/design company’s that delay until...
  8. We’re screwed! [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS. MEMBERS BANNED]

    I have LOD’s, and in M’s stadium parking have witnessed a least a couple of times people examining their doors after they hit my steps.
  9. We’re screwed! [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS. MEMBERS BANNED]

    2 or 4 door I don’t mind, I make sure to park next to lower cars. If they don’t want to pay attention, their doors will get dinged on my step bars.
  10. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    I believe it’s actually Mopar based, but a RAM screen size they’ve reprogrammed for Gladiators & Wranglers. It works like stock, with WiFi carplay, NAV, Integrated Mic’s, OffRoad pages, programming Mirror dimming, chimes for ParkSense & BSM, etc. I’ve had issues with my back up camera that...
  11. Replacement seats from other Jeep models

    I have a 22ā€˜ Gladiator & 24 Wrangler. I redid covers on both 22’ & 24’. It’s minor differences on the seat airbags. Bolt holes lines up in the seat bracket, but it’s possible seams were different as I didn’t verify. Seam difference may redirect deployment slightly, but there’s no way it stops...
  12. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    It was expensive, but I love the screen & uconnect 5 w/wifi carplay. It’s Infotainment’s 10.1 Uconnect retro for Pre-24.
  13. My Two Jeeps. Let's See Yours

    Twins in name only.
  14. Sky365 Roof Panel

    The matte black color is really close to the standard hardtop. The texture is not the same, but doesn’t bother me. Here’s a couple of pics. Yes, I know it’s dirty.
  15. Purchasing Used Gladiator, WANT DIESEL

    Traded in my 2019 JLU 3.6 just to get the JT Diesel. Needed a truck, and only wanted the Diesel after towing a 1500lb trailer with the JLU. 3.0 is the best engine for the JT. I actually like the 24-25 upgrades, but dropping the diesel was a non-starter for any upgrade. I did get a 2024 2dr JL...
  16. Oracle Taillight screw rust?

    I’ve had the Oracle Taillight’s for 2yrs now, and no issues with the LED’s that other’s have experienced. What I have is the internal screws are completely rusted, and when I took off the Taillights for access to the internal back of the bed, the reverse light broke off. Not sure if the screws...
  17. Sunrider owners - MY mess-up, or theirs?

    Yeah, your tolerances seam way different. I have a Bestop Sunrider that has gone from a 2019 JLU Moab to 2022 Gladiator, then to 2024 JL. Sadly, not sure of any changes, but your rail inset looks different. Sorry, I canā€˜t provide detail on the tolerances or fault, but it seems both at play...
  18. 3.6 pentastar 2020 major problems - Is the newer engine better in 2025 etc.

    Come on, these are business people. Whether you believe in Stellantis acumen is a different discussion, but if they knew the answer and could fix it easily out-weighing the cost of dealer fixes it would have been done. It’s obviously not such a huge cost % outlier vs warranty expense that they...
  19. We’re screwed! [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS. MEMBERS BANNED]

    Don’t buy depreciable assets with the intent of gaming downside risk. That’s like trying to control a riptide. It just happens, even to the most experienced.
